A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When an applet loads on any page it takes the focus so ther user loses the ability to scroll the window or tab between form fields unless the user uses the mouse to click in the window. This makes it virtually useless for users in a enterpise intranet to use a web application for data entry with applets on the page. This was not the behavior in jre 1.3.1_08

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Load any page with an applet in Internet Explorer 6.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The applet should not "steal" the focus of the window.
ACTUAL -
The applet takes focus after loading disabling normal use of the keyboard and mouse controls in the web page.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
